Alright, we take their origin point, input the key stopping locations along their path… apply Newman’s law… Okay, we’ve got something.

This whole system, the Brood just… Tore right through it. It’s almost… biblical.

“And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped,” Human, Christian Bible, Exodus 10:14. An apt metaphor.

It kind of seems like there’s a pattern to their movement though, doesn’t it? This isn’t just unrestrained carnage, they’re moving somewhere.

I believe you are right. If we take their current movement pattern and extrapolate it, we may be able to project their path.

What could have triggered the return of the Actian Brood? It has been centuries since Captain Pike and the Enterprise went to battle with them.

This cannot be a coincidence. The arrival of the Brood must have something to do with the bouts of hysteria we have been investigating.

To learn more, we may have no choice but to put ourselves in harm’s way again. We must inspect the site of the Actian Brood’s arrival once more.

It’s just… the wreckage, I– I’ve never seen anything like this. It looks almost like it’s been… eaten.

That is because it has. The Actian Brood can derive sustenance from almost anything. Tritanium, Dilithium… Flesh.
